Vexxarr?
Online web comic...VERY funny, with some designs clearly inspired by Robotech. It's about a snarky alien loser who, like Invader Zim, is sent to Earth to conquer it just to get rid of him, and he knows it. He loses, gets captured by the humans, and his confiscated starship effectively bootstraps humanity into the Galactic Club, Then they let him go, and the ongoing strip is of him trying to find someplace in the universe where people and events aren't trying to kill him...or worse.
Worse yet, he's got the requisite crew of misfits who are driving him up the wall(and vice versa), including an onboard AI that is actively trying to kill him, but which is held in check by Vexxarr's own cunning, and by the fact that the AI's own sub-sets and backups are vying for dominance and often monkeywrench the AI currently running the ship.
It's very funny, very snarky, and epic crazy.

"It means we're bloody lost because we're not supposed to be out this far and we don't know which of those spiral arms we're supposed to be in because some bloody sod spilled his soda on the navigation console."
"...ah yes, that meaning, which I was mentally suppressing.."

"Looks like it."

"To wipe out future threats to navigation and the expansion of humanity into the galaxy. Don't worry, though, when High Command delivered the bombs, they came equipped with safeguards."
"Again, I regret asking..what safeguards?"
"Each missile comes with its own failsafe AI! They CAN'T go off unauthorized; they're not programmed to."
"I already have grave misgivings about this...."

No depth of personalty eh?, I'm sure many world leaders would want that in their Dogs Of War/killbots, I mean look what the Robttech Masters did with the zents.

That was certainly nastier then my Kyle and Minmei's adventures on Gor idea. Or Roy and Claudia meet Fencer of Minerva.
